Obviously this should work for the ST (7afe) as well... ? correct

[urbandork]

depends on the placement of the intake manifold is realitive to the engine bay and whole in the fender.

on a 5sfe in a celica the bends and lengths are just right. I would think that if the placement of the intake manifold are to farther foward or behind then the 5sfe then i might have some troubles when dealing with the angle of the pipes and length.


Id say try it and at most lose 20 or so bucks on the pipes. At least ull have fun cutting stuff up and junk.


o also i dont know if the intake side of the manifold is the same size and thus you may need a smaller reducer.

I'll give it a shot after my car comes back from the mechanics.

I bought a CAI for my car ST off ebay for like 30$, works great. I left out the bybass valve cause it took away the sound of the intake.

My new re-routed cai, works nicely

Hmm...so you sure as hell should have a bypass valve if you're gonna have it there...looks like danger for puddles...

[LewFX]

i covered it back up with the plastic shield, just took a pic to show

[chicklover345]

I found a ton of bypass valves all diff sizes too not for $40-50 but $20 here they are there are lots of diff styles too. Bypass Valves

also what is the hose coming out of the valve cover into the throttle body do and why do some people have it going into their intake piping????

WARNING Must use 2.5 inch pipe if not moding the hole below the fuse box. If you use 2.75" pipe the sides of the hole will rub a cut into the pipe.

Pix of mine soon to come.

If you use 2.75" cut the hole larger.

Well I finally got my cold air intake done...well... almost... still need some bigger hose clamps and put everything back togther...

but here are a few quick pics of it...

easy?

[Jaws4God]

not completely easy.. but it wasn't anything difficult... just time consuming...

1. get the inside fender cover off..
2. getting fuse box out..
3. widening hole under fuse box.
4. cutting 2 small parts off pipes with hacksaw..

took me about 4 hours total

[urbandork]

right on man. im glad to c the how to did someone some good.

Nice pix man. Urs came out very nice.

[Jaws4God]

only problem is the filter is pushing into the fender plastic so the tire rubs slightly when i make hard right turns... not sure if i'm just gonna leave it or add a little elbow to point the filter towards the front...

not sure... but i love how it sounds!!

Got bored so I decided to do this.







Works pretty well. I noticed a nice difference from my short ram.

Is that a 96 engine in your car Boss-Celica? I have a 94, and I've never noticed the differences before. I thought the set up was almost the same with all the 5sfe motors. My egr valve is different, and that vent hose coming out of the valve cover.

I see what you are talking about. I think they did do some minor adjustments from the 94 to the 96.
